Genshin Impact: A Scattered Soldier Traveling Back in Time

Chapter 2 Treasure Hunting in the Desert

"Nashida, here we come."

Nashida heard Paimon's voice and came out from behind the desk.

"Sora, Paimon, you're here."

There was a hint of fatigue in Nashida's voice. As the Goddess of Grass, it was impossible for her to sit idle after something like this happened.

"Nashida, you look very tired, are you okay?" Kong looked at Nashida with some concern.

"Don't worry, she's fine. Gods aren't as fragile as you think."

Paimeng glared at the sarcastic Yan and said, "You are too inhumane, aren't you?"

"Really? I'm just telling the truth. Those who can't accept it should reflect on the reasons themselves."

"You!" Paimon stomped his feet in the air angrily.

"Okay Paimon, I'm fine." Nashida interrupted them.

"Nashida, is there something important that you want us to come over for?" Kong asked at this time.

When it comes to business, Nashida's expression becomes serious. "Well, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to go to the desert to investigate. Not long ago, a meteorite from outside the world fell deep in the desert, and this disaster was caused by it."

"What do I need to say?"

"I want you to bring the meteorite back. We must be vigilant against anything outside our world. I will also let Ying assist you."

"Wait," Yan interrupted, "The great disciplinary officer, Senuo, is more familiar with the desert affairs than I am, right? Why me?"

"Mr. Seno, you need to stay in Xumi City with me to appease the people. Do you have any other questions? Mr. Amao."

Nashida said with a smile.

"Tsk." He rolled his eyes. "Okay, I'll do it reluctantly."

"Why do I have a bad feeling?" Nashida muttered to herself as she watched them leave. "It must be my illusion."

Shaking her head and not thinking about it anymore, Nashida tiptoed back to her office chair and continued to process documents.

……

Back to the present, they have been searching in the desert for several days and have not found any clues yet.

And they are now faced with one bad news and one worse news.

The bad news was that they were lost, and the worse news was that the food and water they brought were running out.

Heng looked at Paimeng and said, "Is this the route you took?"

If he remembered correctly, this was the seventh time they had "passed by" this cactus.

"Didn't you say that you and Sora had been adventuring in the desert for a long time and that you were very familiar with it?"

Not long ago, they went deep into the desert. Since it was the first time for them to come to such a haunted place like the desert, they were immediately confused and had no idea where to go.

Paimon patted his chest and assured, "Sora and I have walked through this desert many times. Just follow me!"

Heng looked at Paimeng with some suspicion, his eyes full of distrust.

"Hey, what's with that look on your face?" Paimeng stomped his feet in the air angrily.

"Kong, look at him!" Paimeng looked at Kong with a wronged look on his face.

Kong thought about it and felt that they had explored this area many times, so there shouldn't be any problem letting Paimeng lead the way. He nodded and agreed to let Paimeng lead the way.

Seeing this, Heng didn't say anything more.

When Paimeng heard Yan's question, his eyes began to become uncertain and he looked like a guilty thief.

"This... this must be because of the meteorite," Paimon seemed to have thought of something and became confident, "Yes! It must be because the meteorite fell and changed the environment here, otherwise I, Paimon, would not have gotten lost."

Kong gave Yan an apologetic look.

"Oh, forget it." Yan didn't want to bother with this stupid emergency food anymore. Continuing the argument would lead to no results.

"Sora, you take that little guy and wait here for me. I'll go see if there's an oasis nearby."

As he said this, he gave him all the remaining water and food he had.

"What will you do if you give me all the food and water?" Kong hesitated.

"Don't worry, I'm a puppet, I don't need these things."

As he said that, he stuffed the thing into Kong's arms, and without waiting for him to refuse, he said "Rage of Wind and Tengtian" and flew away.

Kong looked at Yan's back and shook his head helplessly, then waited there with Paimon.

It rose into the air, randomly chose a direction and flew forward.

He squinted his eyes in the air and looked at the ground. There was endless desert all around him and there was a lot of sand and dust in the air.

He couldn't fly too fast, otherwise sand would get into his eyes and he wouldn't be able to see anything clearly.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the sky gradually darkened.

昽 had been flying for a long time, but there was nothing around. Just when 昽 gave up and prepared to go back, he saw a flash of fire suddenly appear in front of him. 昽's eyes lit up and he flew over faster.

"Bah, what bad luck, I didn't expect this to happen." A middle-aged man from the Gilded Brigade cursed.

"Yeah, it's really terrifying." A young man from the Gilded Brigade said with lingering fear on the other side.

"Yeah, who could have thought that a meteorite would suddenly fall down." The rest of the Gilded Brigade echoed.

Not long ago, this group of Gilded Brigade heard that the Red King's ruins appeared nearby, so they rushed over excitedly, ready to make a fortune, but they didn't expect...

There were originally dozens of people in the team, but now only a few of them are left.

"Hey, Boss, look over there, something seems to be flying over here."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Gilded Brigade looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a blue figure flying from a distance and stopping not far in the air.

"I heard you know where the meteorite is?"

The middle-aged Gilded Brigade looked up and saw a young man wearing Inazuma-style clothing floating in the air, with a blue halo behind him and exuding the aura of wind element all over his body.

"Tell me where the meteorite is?" the boy said in a commanding tone.

The middle-aged Gilded Brigade smiled cruelly upon hearing this. "Really? How come any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to take advantage of me? They simply don't know how to live or die."

The Gilded Brigade around were also looking at the young man in the air with a grim smile on their faces. They had just experienced a disaster and were in a bad mood. Now here came a person who didn't know how to live or die, which was a good opportunity for them to vent their anger.

The middle-aged Gilded Brigade member took out an instrument and was about to chant a spell to summon the instrument spirit to teach the boy a lesson, but he heard a voice saying "You have no self-awareness at all" and his eyes went dark before he lost consciousness.

He fell to the ground, snorted coldly, and looked at the last conscious member of the Gilded Brigade.

"I heard you know where the meteorite that fell a few days ago is?"

The Gilded Brigade smiled flatteringly, "Yes, sir, I know where it is. What do you need me to do? I will go through fire and water for you, and I will do it without hesitation."

He looked at him with disdain, grabbed his ankle and flew him up.

There were screams coming from the air, and a faint smell of urine.
